	In a FOX Sports biopic entitled ''Billy Miske: Dead Man Fighting'', boxing historian Jake Wegner discussed the legacy of Miske. To quote: "Billy Miske was one of the greatest fighters to ever lace up the gloves, but you don't have to be a boxing fan to admire what this man did. Miske leaves a legacy of raw courage, of hope for what is possible for people while they are sick--for what you can do while you are sick--even terminally sick. He leaves behind a role model for fathers, husbands and for fighters."		In a FOX Sports biopic entitled ''Billy Miske: Dead Man Fighting'', boxing historian Jake Wegner discussed the legacy of Miske.
